The City Palace in Jaipur is an exquisite maharaja’s palace. I wandered around the complex amazed that each section seemed even more impressive than the last. Built in the 18th Century for the Maharaja of Jaipur, the palace is still a royal residence today. In an inner courtyard called Pritam Niwas Chowk, there are four doorways in the walls. Each of these doors is unique in its design and decoration, and beautiful to behold. The four doors represent the seasons and different Hindu gods. The Rose Gate (representing winter) is dedicated to the goddess Devi. The Green Gate (representing spring) is dedicated to Lord Ganesha. The Lotus Gate (representing summer) is dedicated to Shiva and Parvati. The Peacock gate (representing autumn) is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
